Hey! The Braves won!
Okay, maybe the Atlanta Braves aren't the worst team in the league just yet.
The Braves, who happened to enter the night with a 12-game losing streak, prevailed over the cellar-dwelling Philadelphia Phillies in Monday's series opener by a score of 7-2. That, of course, means that Atlanta maintains a "deficit" when compared to Philly in the race for the number one pick in the 2016 MLB Draft, and the margin has now grown to two games.
On the field, the majority of the damage was done early for the Braves.
